I've tried to contact everyone I can find connected to Scorpion. Of the four you mention:
Charlap: Emailed questions; no reply. Schmidt-Cornelius: Contacted via Twitter; he stopped replying when I mentioned Scorpion/O'Brien. Allin: Contacted via Twitter. "Walter's a good friend and colleague and am 100% supportive of him. The TV is entertainment and based on his life, period." Casey: Couldn't find contact information./div>
Read the second paragraph. It's not about a stupid TV show; it's about Walter O'Brien trying to con people into believing his claims. Look at how he reached out to Stratfor in 2009. With all the credibility he now has based on these unresearched stories in major news outlets, O'Brien's fraudulent and grandiose claims of experience could lead to actual harm./div>
